It's!!!... The Weekend Playlist.. coming at you from hot-hot Brooklyn, NY and I'm the Boricua, PR_GMR. What will be your gaming pleasure this weekend? For me: League Of Legends.. and I'm returning to Guild Wars 2. And I'm growing some city on Rising Cities.

Well, I had just started Company of Heroes 2 on the old one when it died. Have Bioshock Infinite waiting, and was starting the 3rd Anno 2070 campaign... I hope I don't just have to statr that over...

I recommend playing Bioshock: Infinite on Hard. Unlike the first two games, that difficulty is really well balanced to encourage resourceful, intelligent play. You'll need to make good use out of every tool at your disposal -- not because you're weak or hopelessly outclassed -- but because you're outnumbered by cooperating enemy types and bullets are designed to hurt.

On Anno 2070, don't get so hung up on the campaign that you burn out before trying the Continuous Mode. That's where the real meat of the game is. The story mode is good for getting a basic understanding of the major game mechanics, but my memory is that the combat-heavy missions were a real grind.
